Alarm feature via voice command

My co-worker friend, we'll call him... "Ben" just informed me of a very cool feature! There is no on-board countdown timer or stopwatch on the Android OS version 2, 3, or 4.0. However, on the new Galaxy Nexus if you can start a countdown via voice command.
Step 1: turn on your nexus phone
Step 2: click on the mic icon
Step 3: speak the phrase "set timer 19 minutes"
The screen updates, and an alarm is automatically created for 19 minutes from the time you spoke the command, click the "OK" button and your quasi countdown timer/alarm is enabled!
